Denied
The Board denied service connection for tinnitus, migraine headaches, an acquired psychiatric disorder (including PTSD), a disability rating in excess of 30 percent for irritable bowel syndrome post cholecystectomy with gastroesophageal reflux disease and gastritis, and a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for hemorrhoids.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's tinnitus, migraine headaches, acquired psychiatric disorder (including PTSD), IBS, or hemorrhoids were related to his service.
